This morning it was quite cool (45f) and remained that way all day did not get much about 65 F. So needed a sweater and longer pants for most of the day. But heck we just not used to it. The heat wave will be coming back next week again.
So today a was a good one to make a large pot of homemade Turkey Noodle soup from that huge 10 lb turkey we cooked on our Weber Q last Sunday. We ate for 5 days with that Turkey for $9.90 and still some in the freezer and lots more soup, now that was a great deal.
Got the carcass boiling at 6:30am for a couple hours and made a wonderful broth,. While that was going on I got a couple nice walkabouts the campground and noticed the wonderful sumach in the morning sun.
looks so colorful in the morning sun |
this is them |
Now home and the turkey broth is ready to strain, pick the bones and add some fixings. Onion, celery, carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, bay leaves, garlic, spices and egg noodles.
The soup was done in time for lunch and once again so tasty, perfect for a cooler day.love home made soup for lunch |
But we we got invited to Emile and Moniques' for Happy hour at 3:30 so had to go, just because we can. Chatted for a while told stories and exchanged ideas, Steve and Gail stopped by to join us as well. Then time to head home to whip up supper.
yup we happy |
As I have mentioned before the grilled lemon is so juicy |
was wonderful |
Now enjoying a cooler evening outside reading (dressed accordingly) until things cool down and time to head inside.
Hope you had a wonderful day as well enjoying this much cooler weather and thanks bunches for stopping on by.

I think you can read this before you finish the book, without it spoiling anything important for you:

Thanks Craig it did not spoil the book just confirmed what I am thinking about while reading it.
DeleteI remember studying erratics at school but have never seen any knowingly. Very square looking. I suppose as they weren't shaped by water. Don't those turkeys know you were boiling a fellow fowl.
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of these Glacial Erratics all over this area which makes it quite beautiful.
DeleteThink maybe the turkeys were running away from me,lol.
Days have cooled down here. Summer isn't really gone but it is. At least the hot, hot days are. Your turkey soup looks wonderful. I always like fixing that after we have turkey too. Enjoy yourselves.
ReplyDeleteYes almost sad when the weather cools down and the days get shorter.
DeleteLove homemade soups especially, chicken or turkey.
According to the forecast, we aren't done with the hot hot yet, check out Tuesday. I'm great with that, not ready for the cool stuff to stick around yet either. Have to ask if you and your sweetie touched the rock together holding hands? I certainly hope so!
ReplyDeleteYeah next week the heat is coming back, we are not ready yet either.
DeleteNo we did not touch it, she was not with me, hopefully another time.
I can't even image what the Ice Age must have been like. WOW.
ReplyDeleteIt must have really been something back then.
DeleteThat 45 degree weather sounds awfully good to me (and I don't even like cold weather). Left a hot Ohio... now in Glen Rose at 89 degrees. Enough already! I, too, love a pot of soup, a good book and preferable a cat on my lap when the weather turns cold.
ReplyDeleteDay times not too bad, and a nice pot of soup and a good book is wonderful.
DeleteThe soup looks good. You got your money's worth from that turkey.
ReplyDeleteThe soup is wonderful, and yes we sure did get a lot of milage from it.
